Who Else Installed Battlefield 1 Open Beta On Their SSD Because It Was So Small

[SuperShermanTanker]

So after realizing how small Battlefield 1 is in terms of full game size on the hard disk I figured I would just install it on my 270gb SSD and if it gets larger then 15gb as the expansions get released I'll move it to one of my 3 mass storage drives

Don't really see the benefit of using a ssd anymore. now that it doesn't use battlelog I doesn't seem that much slower other than loading up the game from the start obviously. Pretty sure they implemented a thing in bf games where a certain number of people have to ready up before the game even begins so taking up valuable ssd space is a no no.

I run almost all of my games off of a 6TB My Book external hard drive. I have no issues with load times even over usb. The only game which lives on my SSD is Battlefield 4 because having to relaunch the game whenever I want to change servers is awful and any speed boost I can get helps. Battlelog was an awful idea and hopefully stays dead into the future.

I usually run all of my games on SSD anyways, I have about 500gb of SSD storage and that usually suits all my game needs for what I'm playing currently.

 

I uninstall games I don't plan on playing if I ever need more space

[malon]

its going fast enough on my 2TB wdblack, might install the full game on my currently playing ssd when it comes out completly

I installed the beta on the SSD and I will install the final game on the SSD since if it's anything like the previous ones it takes ages to load from the hard disk.

all my games are installed on my 1tb ssd thats what I bought it for.

I personally would expect 15 GB to be extremely optimistic for the release day version of Battlefield 1. Battlefield 4, if I remember correctly, was around 30 GB on release day and went into the 50+ GB range with DLC. BF1 will be bigger, if anything.

I not even have Beta? Fuck you.

Indeed, its only 1 or 2 maps in the game atm and no single player and its 7gb lol.

RIP 128GB SSD users. BF1 gonna be 200GB install.

I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't cross the 70GB mark the maps are beautiful. 

[Praesi]

I install every Game on my SSD.

[ShadowCaptain]

Games always go on my SSD unless they are old or single player only (or dont have long loading times)
 

Battlefield especially goes on SSD

Yah and all those graphics are making my 650ti in my ITX LAN Party/Spare PC perform like a brick and my 650ti aint no potato either I'm hoping the game optimization and development until release fixes it because the only machine strong enough that I have right now to play this game is my main machine with a Core i5 4690k at stock speed and a stock cooler RX480

Multiplayer games always go on my SSDs. This one is on the mechanical though because I forgot that I had to change origin settings for where games install, unlike steam where I can choose at the point of installation.

I put the game on my HDD as it was small enough.

 

The ONLY game on my SSD is Battlefield 4 as it can take a minute or two to just load the map, and then the round is over and waiting starts all over again.

 

I do wish I did put Rainbow Six Siege on my SSD as it is the same like Battlefield 4 with load times for some stupid reason.

I downloaded it without bothering to check which drive Origin was set to install to. It's D:\, my HDD. I'm still kind of ecstatic about how much faster BF1 loads than BF4 from the same drive, which probably has a lot to do with not having to launch the game through a damned browser plug-in.  Best feature of BF1: no Battlelog.

[Scruffy90]

Does BF1 take advantage of the SSD's speeds? I dont know of many games that do.
